To use the slab, simply fold a sheet of sandpaper over its face, snap
the tensioned dowels into the V-grooves, and start sanding. Here’s a
hint for mounting two sheets at once: Tack two sheets of sandpaper in
place temporarily with masking tape before snapping the dowels into
the V-grooves.

Sanding with a Handball Glove
W
HENI HAVE A LOTof power-sanding to do—either finish, belt,
or disc—I always wear a handball players’ glove. It’s ventilated
on the back for comfort, and the palm is padded, which helps cushion
some of the vibration. I can sand for hours without getting that
“tingling” sensation in my hand and arm.
